Win A $50 Gift Certificate From Jillybean Green!
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
'Wear Your Heart On Your Back' Organic Cotton and Velvet Girls' Tee $28.95
'Groovy Guitars' Wet Bag $18-$25
'Stack It' Recycled Oxidized Sterling Silver and Pearl Rings $98
Jillybean Green makes my heart beat fast. It’s like all the kid stuff I scour the web for, loaded into one happy little spot. And it’s fun to say (you know you just said it). Created by an L.A. mom who adores both her kids and the environment, Jillybean offers alternatives to adopting a greener lifestyle, without having to compromise the ‘hip’ factor. Every manufacturer they work with creates products that are either organic, made with sustainable or recyclable materials, employ fair trade practices, or are recyclable, reusable and or/non-toxic. They also support local artisans, designers and good old USA manufacturing – woo hoo!
What I love best about Jillybean Green (besides saying it, okay I’ll stop) is the stuff; babies, kids, gear, bath time…moms, JBG has it all! In addition to my picks above, one of my most fave parts of their site are the 100+ items in the Under $25 Finds section, perfect for gift giving and otherwise. (P.S. How cute is that ‘Heart On Your Back’ tee?!) If you happen to be in Los Angeles, Jillybean now has a store located inside the birthday party locale of choice (*drum roll*) The COOP, located at 11118 Ventura Blvd, in Studio City. But you don’t have to hop a plane to reap the benefits of Jillybean, since they have been generous enough to team up with LASM to offer one lucky ready a $50 gift certificate!

My Christmas Wish List
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009
When my friend D (a.k.a. San Diego Momma: Not only is she an excellent and high-larious writer, my girl is crazy smart and a savvy shopper to the tune of a pair of Chloé heels scored at a thrift store for $11. Done.) said that she couldn’t wait to see my Christmas list, my initial thought was, ‘That’s odd. I wonder why she’s interested in what I’m getting the boys, since she has two girls…’ So I’m a total spaz. Although D is quite possibly the only one excited to check this out, I had a hell of a lot of fun ’shopping’ for it and no, it isn’t my real list.

Real Life Fashion Series #002: K
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
My friends hate me, but damn if they’re not great sports! (Note: If I’m going to continue with this series, I need to either get a better camera, or a better eye – most likely the latter.) I accosted K in the schoolyard with an iPhone – hi K! – but it’s her own fault for looking stupid cute.
Before I had kids, I used to subscribe to the theory that my girlfriend Jeff taught me; “Always dress like you’re going somewhere better, later.” Although I’ve (you’ve?) recently slacked in this department, K has clearly not, even though she too shuffles two little (albeit very well dressed) dudes around to games, school and parties like the rest of us commoners. In case you don’t have a naturally taught and tanned bod from years as a gymnast or your current regime of outdoor daily tennis? That tunic dress would also be perfect over leggings. Love her.
(Blinde ‘Accidental’ Sunglasses from Loehmann’s $100-ish, H&M Black Tunic Dress $39.95, Martin+Osa Black Snake Print Shopper $49.75, Steve Madden Black Leather ‘Ballack’ Boots $169.95, Forever 21 Ring $3.80)

Giveaway! ‘Heart Of Gold’ Pendant From Hazel & Harlow
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Hazel & Harlow Petite Antiqued 'Heart Of Gold' Pendant $75
Hazel & Harlow 'A Rose Is A Rose' Gold Carved Ring $150
Hazel & Harlow Antiqued Horseshoe Earrings $95
So pretty and delicate and a teensy bit quirky, Hazel & Harlow feels like a throwback to an old fashioned and more romantic time; not unlike a treasure you would be thrilled to discover in your grandmother’s jewelry box – your very cool grandmother, mind you. In a season that’s dominated by in-your-face statement pieces, Hazel & Harlow is like a floral scented breath of fresh air. I also happen to think that there’s nothing sexier than wearing a teeny mini pendant that beckons others to come closer to check it out for themselves (*wink-wink*).
Hazel & Harlow’s ‘Heart Of Gold’ necklace is crafted of 24K gold vermeil with an 18″ chain. The heart itself is etched with a star motif, each inset with a tiny round topaz stone – simple, beautiful, perfect…could be yours! In addition to a generous 30% off site-wide discount from now through November 3rd (simply enter code LASTYLIST09), we’ll be giving away a Petite ‘Heart Of Gold’ Pendant worth $75 to one lucky reader!
If you’d like to enter for a chance to win, all you have to do is sign up to become an L.A. Stylist Mom Facebook Fan (if you haven’t already). Then be sure leave us a comment on this post letting us know that you did – that’s it! Good luck…
*All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway on Wednesday November 4th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail on Thursday November 5th, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom Friday November 6th. Open to U.S. residents only.
Recently Purchased: NOIR Pavé Pyramid Stud Earrings
Monday, October 26th, 2009
NOIR Pavé Pyramid Stud Earrings $45
NOIR Pavé Metal Pyramid Bracelet $245
NOIR Stack Pyramids Rings in 'Gunmetal' $60
If you can get past the douche-y looking Perry Farrell ‘light’ grabbing his package on the homepage? There’s some jewelry inside that I kinda want to marry. I bought the Pyramid Stud Earrings at Gilt Fuse for twenty-two bucks (whassup?!), and loved them so much that I decided to head on over to the NOIR website, to check out the complete collection. Turned out to be more of the requisite ‘what I dig,’ because luxe + hard ass = I never get sick of it. Plus I’m fairly certain that that Pyramid Bracelet is single…how you doin’?
Loving: ‘Made Her Think’ Jewelry
Thursday, October 1st, 2009
'Siren' Ring $66
'Kissing Talons' Cuff (Metal) $143
Diamond 'Pendulum' Post $55
Gorge. Edgy. Affordable. Loving. If ‘Made Her Think’ was music, it would sound like Nine Inch Nails. These are just a sampling of my faves (obvy), but M.H.T. has tons of other beautiful baubles, on ends both high and low. Case in point? Be sure not to miss the adorable ‘Pyramid Candy Rings’ (a mere thirty bucks!) and the stunning ‘Pyramid Studded Knuckle Buster,’ that made me think, for sure – that I can’t live without it…
Loving: Pineapple Seed
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Gold Vermeil and Topaz 'Circle' Earrings $49
Sterling Silver and White Sapphire 'Square' Ring $65
I’m so digging the ‘Simplicity’ collection from modern jewelry site Pineapple Seed; Super chic and simple, not to mention incredibly affordable! The ‘Circle’ earrings are a cool and contemporary take on classic diamond studs – perfect as a gift, or if you just want to treat yourself for a change. Do it, and be sure not to miss all the other gorgeousness while you’re there!
